Though the article later transitions into how students view revision, Sommers starts by introducing us to the
relationship between speech and writing. In class we discussed a notion of
trademark and copyrights seemingly becoming stronger when we went from an oral
tradition to a written one. Do you agree the spoken word cannot be revised? If so, how
do possible amendments or changes differ between oral and
written traditions?
The notion of code
switching was brought up before in relation to another article from class.
Inoue recognizes the systems of racism in rhetoric and composition and how the
makeup of the faculty at colleges influences these structures. Perhaps this is
too difficult a question, but what ways can we as instructors to attempt to limit
discrimination or stigmatization of other ways of speech in the classroom? It
seems almost impossible the way Inoue presents his argument.
